There is now a huge discrepancy between the phone application app view and those showing on the computer browser web statistics.
On December 12th 2016, this discrepancy between the web views and the phone app views suddenly took a large jump from 62 views the day before to 253 views. The bookings also seem to favor slightly higher numbers, so I also don't trust these as well, but can track these myself.
This pattern has continued to today.
Up until December 12th 2016, the app views for the month were within stone throwing distance the web 30 day views (if you have a good throwing arm).
For example, on November 25th 2016, the App views were 58 for 25 days, and the 30 day web wiews were 53.
A better comparison, the app views for November on the 31st was 78 (31 days), the 30 day web views on December 3rd were 45. App views being 1.7 times web view.
Now, the December 31st 2016 app views were 699, the 30 day web views for the same day were 133.
That's 5.2 times as many app view as web views.
As of today, my app view are already at 273, 6th of January 2017.
Still not fixed or explained.
I also would like to know what the search was for those views. i.e. was it for tomorrow for a 2 day stay, or for 2 months in the future for a 20 day stay. I wonder if airbnb could give us a way to download the raw data for placing in a spreadsheet for analysis. I saw an interview with the CEO and he said that they were struggling to keep up with the increasing demands created by the volumn on their web systems.
So, we might have to "yell" loudly if we want to be heard.
Anyone up for calling airbnb on this issue. Do you know a programmer on the team you could talk to?
